The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 33 My sister-in-law doesn't want the battalion commander anymore!
Lu Beiting didn't reply to her, but went to her bedside and handed her the jar he was holding.

Xia Zhi curiously took it, only to find it filled with White Rabbit milk candies.

She looked up at him in shock. If she remembered correctly, this candy was very expensive and hard to buy in this era.

Such a big jar must have cost a lot of money.

"No, you eat it yourself."

Xia Zhi puffed out her cheeks and stuffed the gift into his arms; she couldn't afford something so expensive.

"This wasn't bought; they gave it to me as a gift."

As Lu Beiting spoke, he stuffed the milk into her arms again, and even picked up a piece, peeled it, and fed it to her mouth. A strong milky smell wafted up, and Xia Zhi still opened her mouth and ate it.

A familiar taste spread through his mouth, and a hint of pleasure appeared on his face.

Thinking of the villagers in town who had been vying to give her things that day, she felt a surge of pride. "You're a great hero. I'll definitely give you my things in the future."

"I don't need you to bring me any. Eat as much as you like." Lu Beiting lowered his head, after all, she always carried candy with her and would give it to everyone she met.

Xia Zhi turned her head to look at the man by the bed. This man was really strange. He refused to marry her, and now he had a look that made people think the wrong thing.

Xia Zhi let out a breath. Maybe she was overthinking it. Maybe Lu Beiting was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside, which is why all the older men and women liked him.

"Don't take the same risks again next time, or I'll have the commander assign you a..."

At this point, Xia Zhi interrupted in fright, "Stop, stop, stop, Lu Beiting, what are you doing?"

Lu Beiting looked up at her, puzzled. "Nothing happened."

"Give me a gift. If others find out, what will they think of me? Will they say I'm lawless and have connections bigger than the Southern Heavenly Gate?"

Lu Beiting chuckled at her nonsensical tone, "Everyone is fine, they won't overthink it."

"Aren't you afraid people will use this against you? Besides, who am I to you? Would this look good if word got out?"

Xia Zhi wanted to cross her arms, but then remembered that she was injured and straightened her posture. Fortunately, Lu Beiting kept his head down and didn't notice.

Lu Beiting suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Seeing his sullen demeanor, Xia Zhi felt a surge of anger and, with reddened eyes, dismissed him.

"You can go now. My hand isn't broken. I'll help you get treatment. You don't need to worry about me not treating you."

Honestly, she doesn't like him but is still nice to him. If she gets carried away and falls for his own good intentions, it won't be good for anyone.

"That's not what I meant. I just felt that if something similar happened again, you wouldn't get hurt."

"You say I'm a great hero, but you're a great hero too, Xia Zhi." Seeing her excited expression, Lu Beiting quickly pressed her hand down and said earnestly.

Xia Zhi's heart was pounding, as if something was growing wildly out of control.

"Lu Beiting, it's getting late, you should go back." Xia Zhi broke free from his hand and then lay down with her back to him.

Lu Beiting watched her retreating figure in silence for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll bring you food tomorrow."

Xia Zhi gritted her teeth and gripped the blanket tightly around her.

"Lu Beiting, you're not going to marry me again, so don't be so nice to me. It's easy for people to misunderstand. Let's keep our distance."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence behind him, followed by the sound of car wheels and then the sound of a door closing.

After everything was completely quiet, Xia Zhi sat up in bed again, angrily pounding the blankets.

"Ugh! You scumbag!"

On his way home, Lu Beiting kept hearing Xia Zhi's words.

The next day, Xia Zhi woke up to find Shen Hangzhi coming in to change her dressing, and she was instantly jolted awake.

"Dr. Shen, I can handle this minor injury myself."

He then took the plate from Shen Hangzhi's hand with one hand. If he had done it himself, wouldn't that have given him away?

Seeing this, Shen Hangzhi assumed she was just embarrassed. "Can you handle this?" "Yes, I'm a doctor too, Dr. Shen, don't worry." Xia Zhi said, starting to arrange the things on the plate.

Shen Hangzhi nodded with some doubt, but finally politely withdrew.

Xia Zhi simply wrapped a bandage around herself with one hand, and as for the medicine, she put it directly into her spatial storage.

When Shen Hangzhi returned, he didn't notice anything amiss.

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Yi knocked on her door.

"Knock knock knock, sister-in-law, I've brought you your food."

Xia Zhi gritted her teeth inwardly. Heh, Lu Beiting really is quite obedient.

"Okay, come in."

Upon hearing the sounds coming from inside, Zhang Yi immediately pushed open the door and went in.

Looking at his sister-in-law inside, Zhang Yi thought of the battalion commander's dark circles under his eyes this morning; he must have been up all night.

"Sister-in-law, this is porridge that Aunt Chen specially cooked for you. Please try it."

Xia Zhi picked up a spoon, bent over, and ate. "Mmm, delicious. Sister Chen's cooking is always delicious."

Zhang Yi felt a little uncomfortable. He wished the battalion commander were here; he could feed his sister-in-law and strengthen their relationship.

"I'm done eating, thank you for your help, Zhang Yi." Xia Zhi pushed the bowl forward.

"It's alright, sister-in-law, I'll go and get back to work now."

"Okay, and you don't need to call me sister-in-law anymore. I'll be working at the military hospital from now on, so just call me Xia or Dr. Xia," Xia Zhi reminded her.

Now that we've already discussed this, it's not good to keep this name.

Zhang Yi looked at her in surprise. He was used to calling her "sister-in-law," and he was having trouble changing it.

"Okay, okay, Dr. Xia."

After Zhang Yi came out of the ward, he was still a little dazed, but only one thought was in his mind.

The battalion commander and his wife broke up!
My sister-in-law was so angry that she didn't want to listen anymore.

After regaining his senses, Zhang Yi quickly informed the other party.

"Commander! Something terrible has happened! My wife doesn't want the battalion commander anymore!" Zhang Yi shouted, sliding his throat as he ran, not even having a clear view of the situation inside.

Lu Beiting, who was talking to Li Jianguo in his office, stiffened upon hearing this.

"What's all the fuss about?"

Li Jianguo put down the documents in his hand, looked up at him, and glanced at the silent Lu Beiting out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh? The battalion commander is here too."

Zhang Yi scratched his head awkwardly.

Li Jianguo snorted coldly, "Speak, is there anything he can't hear?"

Zhang Yi glanced at Lu Beiting, then stammered.

"My sister-in-law told me not to call her sister-in-law anymore, but to call her Xia, or Dr. Xia."

Lu Beiting pinched his thigh, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest. He was the one who wanted to distance himself from the situation; he should be happy.

Li Jianguo raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Alright, then don't call him that. This kid has had a tough time, he's done a good job, and now he's helping out at the hospital."

"Well then, once she's healed, let her see if there's anyone she likes in the army. If there is, I'll make the decision for her!"

Zhang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but look towards Lu Beiting.
